I say post away, lots of people do it. As long as it is related to the forum they wouldn't have any problem with it.

Well, I have all the stuff for the speaker install finally here. Got raped on sending that sub box back to Subthump but it was nobody elses fault but mine.

 

Hoping to get on it this Sunday. Supposed to be nice out so I might as well get some wrenching done. :lol:

thanks! i made the mistake the first time of not putting the tweeters with in 8 inches of the mids. my new setup is 10x's better ;)

I stupidly, in a hurry, ordered a box for a crew cab instead of an extended cab. Pretty bummed when I went to

test fit it. :lol:

 

I really hoping that there is enough room on the top of it to mount my sub but it's not looking that way. I could have

sworn that I read somewhere that is possible. Otherwise, I have to rip my entire back seat out which sucks.

I know that there is a lot to like about the JL box but not enough to warrant it's cost, to me anyway.

 

All the speakers are going in tomorrow. Should be a fairly clean, easy install. Pictures to come.

if you think about it. its really not that much more. the sub thump is like 240? or something like that. and jl w3v3 are like 250 each. so really you'd only be spending ~50 bucks more then what you already spent

No, the Subthump box is only $115 and my current sub only cost me $100, back in '04.

Well, so much for a fairly clean/easy install. The speaker adapters don't even fit the speakers and are not even close to fitting the rear door openings (see pics). How mortified I was to spend all the time doing this only to have sub par sound and an unforgivable amount of rattles and buzzes in my doors now. I don't give up easy but if this can't be resolved soon, I'll be going back to my factory speakers asap.

Well, after a bunch of digging around this morning I don't seem to find any company that makes the correct adaptors for the rear ext cab doors at all. Looks like the factory speakers will be going back in for now, then. :jester:

No, you are not going to find a rear door adapter for the ext cab. At least I never could when I was doing my install a few months back. I eventually decided not to bother with the rear doors anyway and focus on the fronts since the rears are so muffled and out of the way because of the seats.

 

And if you want to avoid alot of rattling, I would recommend crossing over your speakers to, say, 80 - 120 hz and send the lows to your sub. Even with tons of dynamat the doors will never hold up as a real "enclosure" for decent size speakers.

 

Just my $0.02...

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
